Camera will record video. The macro mode is pretty good, but I had some problems with close-ups; I would think it would be pretty tricky to get the date offof a coin. Ut hat's just me.

Yes this camera take videos and great pictures. It dosen't take HD videos though. I have never tried to read a date on coin. Sorry, cant help you in that area.

Yes you can take video,video +audio ..more than that i think video is sometimes better than picture and the optical zoom is fantastic...In short terms i think this camera is better for videos than for taking pictures

THE Camera was a gift to my son for there first baby, the Pro X500 takes excellant picture's and video and the zoom is second to none

I don't believe it has the capacity to take more than a couple of frames also it is not good for close ups which is why I returned mine; I need detail pics for jewelry and it was not to good at close ups just got blurry pics. Hope this helps you.

I've had mine about two years and love it. I just tried reading the date on a quarter and it was "yes". Yes it does take video. Never tried to see how much it will take, but would probably depend on the internal memory or the batteries. My 20 something grandson can do wonders with the camera. Great camera for the money. Only thing that annoys; the lens cap won't stay on.

I bought this camera after much research and found it to be a real value for money deal. It takes great pictures and videos (but not HD). And when you say that you want to read a date on a coin, I did not try doing that, but it does takes decent videos with 15x zoom and that is good (not excellent because, it does not have the HD capability).Hope this helps.

Only viewed videos once and didn't see any noticeable gap. But I wasn't paying much attention to that. I was more concerned with checking quality of video. While I like the camera, I suggest you look at other models. As stated in my review, it bugs me that the correct date can't be set.

Video quality is not that good. More of a novelty item. This is the second device I had purchased with a hidden camera and the glasses were better. I would look for something better like a watch you can conceal. Send me your email and I will create a test video for you.

I'm not sure but wouldn't be surprised.I agree you buy the product once and should never have to pay for anything else.I like the detector, just not their sales and support service. If I had to buy again I'd probably look at the valentine or something simular. At least they seem honest and up front.

If it sounds too good to be true, then it usually is, too good to be true; especially with this many bad reviews. I'm not taking a chance, most images this time of year are family & friends, both are much to valuable to risk loosing just to save a few dollars.

@Derek Always look at the reviews. Hopefully more people will mention specifics. Look at the reviews for it for the last 6 months on this and other sites to see. Look at what they say so you know what issues some people may be having.

I just bought this camera recently and I'm guessing the answer is no. I've been trying to figure out a way to get the date on and it's just not possible. This is like the 4th camera I've bought for myself and I'm a little disappointed that I can't put the dates on. But all in all it's still a good camera.

You can, James. Please remember: If the item you wish to review is 20-30 days old; and, has NOT been recorded over what you wan to see. Normally, if something happens, we do not have to go back 20-30 days. Save the clip you want; and, the dvr will not record over it. Have fun!

A closer picture would be useful, it could be, but yet couldn't. This answer is probably not helpful, but if purchasing from a well known business... Like Channel-Fireball, they're pretty trustworthy

honestly...don't know since it is intended for films & negatives usage. But if it helps to read a fine print on a coin....it may help..

Worked for me too. THANK YOU!I held down the +, THEN turned on the Flip. Was brought into Setup and changed the date/saved it by pressing arrow as was displayed. It appeared to be changed. Not sure how to check it, but will call it a plus to get this far. Just learning how to do video now.Thanks again.Rozhttp://www.RozOnTwitter.com

I don't know. It doesn't say on the item. I will say that it works fine. The light is a nice feature and the lens in lens feature helps with extra small text, splinters and dates on coins. I hope you found this helpful Joyce. AlfromPA

i suppose once one has bought the camera many are not interested in this question. Pity because it is relevant. Come on one of you owners let us all know and boost sales.

I never could understand the camera on the watch, adding another camera which would take poorer pics than the cell phone? Minor inconvenience at worst. The NEO has NO camera. The Gear DOES have a camera. REALLY COOL FEATURE COMPARED TO OTHER WATCHES IS THE NEO HAVING A SPEAKER; ALLOWING CALLS TO BE MADE AND RECEIVED FROM YOUR WATCH. Shades of Dick Tracy! Would much rather be 'talking' to my watch than walk around with a speaker hung on my ear. davzway

The video that you received depends only from your contact camera, doesn't matter if you have $200 bucks webcam because your camera are working for send image to your contact.....you have to ask the other person how do you see my image??? or you can see in the little corner box your own camera image, is how the person see you.If you contact was very bad webcam affect the image that you received from him or her

It is so frustrating that these camera companies (all of them) can't be more specific about their product availability date other than a hazy sometime in the Spring 2009 or March 2009. Surely, by now, they know the exact date. Is the camera ready or isn't it? If I want to take the camera somewhere by a specific date, I need to know will I have it or not and I don't want some package sitting on my doorstep for a week or two if they can't make that date. It makes me think their product isn't any good and they're waiting for the other guy to show his first.
